The United States has designated al-Manar, a television station for
the Lebanese Hezbollah guerrilla group, as a terrorist organization. In
making the announcement, the State Department said, al-Manar has "...
disgusting programming that preaches hatred and violence and ... ideas
that are antithetical to the values which we believe in." The
designation was made by the Secretary of State with the departments of
Justice and Homeland Security, and under the authority of the
Immigration and Nationality Act.
